Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

What does it take to get road races to film more than just the leaders? I'm trying to watch the recording of the NYRR Half Marathon but watching the same person run out in front is not entertaining. Running nerds deserve better and apparently this is my life's mission now.

Planting trees is punk.

These track uniforms from the On athletes just look like someone slapped their shorts with chalk. Is it the broadcast? What is that supposed to be?

Spray Paint Gate! Can't wait to debate this with my gays after they watch RuPaul's Drag Race.

Study confirms the benefits of commuting by bicycle in particular in reducing sickness absences | Työterveyslaitos An active commute that involves exercise can reduce the number of sick days and lower the risk of long sickness absences. Commuting by bicycle in particular is associated with a lower risk of sickness...

A Finnish 🇫🇮 study highlights that commuting by bicycle significantly reduces sickness absence among municipal employees.

Active cyclists, covering over 30 km weekly, had an 8–18% lower risk of sickness absences and averaged 4.5 fewer sick days annually than passive commuters.

I ran my second fastest 10K today on icy, muddy, rocky trails so I guess that pent up rage is good for something?

Going to a City meeting next week on reclassifying a street through my neighborhood. We want traffic calming but right now it's a "major collector" sandwiched between two other major collectors. Also attending a community work event in our shared garden space. I will cultivate community dammit.

Black and Gold, we root for Karissa Schweizer in this household (it's me and my dogs and my partner who pleads "no more running").

That was a mean lean at the tape for the Houston Half. Mantz is a classy guy for the immediate handshake and acknowledging that Gobena worked harder for that time.

Just watching the Citius Mag doc on Conner Mantz running the Houston Half Marathon when my partner comes in the room and says "oh, is that your friend?"

I need SOMEBODY to listen to Gabby on The Traitors.

I think we can change the world by having protected bike lanes and secure bike parking everywhere.

In honor of carrie underwood performing at that man's inauguration I am going to continue my tradition of never listening to carrie underwood's music.

My new pet peeve is when you drive a big dumb truck and have the regular size snow brush. You're too short to clean your own car, Chad.

Oh, so we're just going to skip over "28 Months Later"? Time has lost all meaning in a post-pandemic world.

Nikki Hiltz winning the Merrie Mile and Hobbs Kessler's wholesome rematch post is just what I needed on this Saturday.

I just watched The Wizard of Oz with my partner who "doesn't like musicals" and she knew every single word. She also asked me if there's any talking in Wicked after she found out it is also a musical.
